Event description
Our esteemed panelists will share their experiences and insights on topics such as diversity and inclusion, governance, and internationalization in higher education.

The event aims to provide a platform for dialogue and exchange of ideas on best practices, with the goal of fostering collaboration between institutions, leaders, and practitioners from both regions. The American researchers joining the discussion are “American Council on Education” (ACE) fellows, visiting the University of Tübingen for a week. ACE fellows are a select group of researchers chosen to participate in a year-long fellowship program focused on leadership development and institutional change in academia.

The discussion is followed by a reception. The alumni relations team looks forward to meeting you at the dai!
